    Study Notes

    ASP.NET Programming with C# and SQL Server - Chapter 3 Summary

    • Chapter 3 covers using functions, methods, and control structures in ASP.NET programming with C# and SQL Server.
    • Objectives include learning to use functions to organize C# code, working with the Request object, using if, if...else, and switch statements for decision-making, and using while, do...while, and for statements for repeated code execution.
    • Functions group programming statements into logical units. They are procedures used to organize related C# statements.
    • Code declaration blocks contain ASP.NET functions and global variables. The <script> element defines a code declaration block, specifying the scripting language (e.g., C#) and execution environment (e.g., server-side).

    Defining Functions

    • Define a function before using it.
    • Function definition contains the lines of code that make up a function.
    • Syntax: returnDataType functionName(parameters) { statements; }.
    • Return data type indicates the output type. void means the function doesn't return a value.
    • Parameters are variables used within a function. They are placed inside the parentheses of the function definition, with each parameter's data type declared.

    Calling Functions

    • Function definition alone does not execute the function.
    • Calling a function invokes or executes it.
    • Function call is the code that invokes a function.
    • Syntax: functionName(argument1, argument2, ...);.
    • Arguments are the values passed as input to a function in the function call. Arguments are also called actual parameters. They are assigned to the function parameters.

    Returning Values

    • A function may return a value.
    • Returned value can be assigned to a variable.
    • Syntax: variable = functionName(parameters);
    • A return statement in a function sends a value back to the code that called it.
    • Syntax: return variable;

    Understanding Variable Scope

    • Scope defines where a variable can be accessed. It is determined by where the variable is declared.
      • Global variables are declared outside of functions within a code declaration block and are available throughout the entire page.
      • Local variables are declared inside functions or code blocks and are only available within that function or code block.

    Working with the Request Object

    • The Request object is a built-in ASP.NET object representing a client's URL request.
    • The Request object uses collections to store object properties
    • Syntax: to access an object collection: object.collection("property")
    • Form collection contains variables representing form elements from a web page.
    • Example: Request.Form["name"]
    • There are many request collections (e.g., cookies, query string, server variables, clients certificates). Each contains specific data.

    Making Decision

    • Decision-making (or flow control) determines the order in which statements execute in a program.
    • The if statement is the most common decision-making statement.
    • The if statement executes statements when a conditional expression is true

    if...else Statements

    • An if...else statement executes one set of statements when a conditional expression is true and another when it's false.
    • One, and only one, set of statements will be executed.

    Nested if and if...else Statements

    • A nested decision-making structure has one decision-making structure contained within another.

    switch Statements

    • A switch statement executes a specific set of statements depending on the value of an expression.
    • A matching case label activates the corresponding block of statements.
    • Provides an alternative to a series of nested if...else statements when multiple conditional checks are needed.

    Repeating Code (Loop Statements)

    • Loop statements repeatedly execute a block of statements.
    • Types include while, do...while, and for.
      • while: repeats statements as long as a conditional expression evaluates to true.
      • do...while: executes statements once and then repeats as long as the conditional expression is true.
      • for: used for repeating a block of code, often with a counter variable that increments or decrements with each iteration.

    Using continue Statements

    • A continue statement skips the remaining statements within the current loop iteration, but allows the loop to proceed with a new iteration.

    Summary

    • Key components like <script> blocks, functions, scopes (global and local), the Request object, decisions (if/else, switch), and loops (while, do...while, for) are used to build dynamic web applications in ASP.NET C#.
